Mar 30: Americans Are Losing Their Religion

Decline of Religion
Even the US is losing its faith.

In a Gallup Survey, less than 50% of Americans say they belong to a church.

In 2020, 47% of U.S. adults belonged to a church, synagogue or mosque - a drop of more than 20 points from turn of the century.

Over the past two decades, the percentage of Americans who do not identify with any religion has grown from 8% in 1998-2000 to 13% in 2008-2010 and 21% over the past three years.

Above us only sky...

The glory of the 'heavens' above us are real, their starry splendour is visible to those who look up; but the glory of 'Heaven' is a sad delusion of human minds.
This is the personal blog site of an atheist astronomer.

Wise words

"My practice as a scientist is atheistic. That is to say, when I set up an experiment I assume that no god, angel or devil is going to interfere with its course; and this assumption has been justified by such success as I have achieved in my professional career. I should therefore be intellectually dishonest if I were not also atheistic in the affairs of the world."
J.B.S. Haldane
